  • Patent number: 9346240
    Abstract: Disclosed are an open-porous metal foam and a method for manufacturing the same. An open-porous metal foam according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is made of an iron-based alloy including 15 wt % or more of chrome and 5 wt % or more of aluminum. The open-porous metal foam is a semi-product that is formed of iron or the iron-based alloy that does not include chrome and aluminum or includes a smaller amount of chrome and aluminum in the powder when manufacturing, and the surface and the open pore thereof are uniformly coated with the powder of the iron-chrome-aluminum alloy and the organic binding agent. When heat treatment is performed under a reduction atmosphere, sintering is performed.

  • Patent number: 9296032
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a porous metal foam cone assembly. The metal foam cone assembly according to the present invention includes providing a porous metal foam sheet; cutting the porous metal foam sheet to be in a predetermined shape using a cutting press that is provided with a knife tool; disposing the cut metal foam sheet on a base plate of a forming die and then primarily forming the metal foam sheet using a mandrel of a cone shape; secondarily forming the metal foam sheet using a left slider and a right slider of the forming die; and pressing an overlapping portion of the metal foam sheet using a stamping jig of the forming die after the forming using the left and right sliders.

  • Patent number: 9061232
    Abstract: Provided is an exhaust gas filter, including: an external case connected with an exhaust pipe; a filtering unit provided in the external case; a filtering path supplying exhaust gas to the filtering unit; and a pressure relief flange provided in the external case to discharge exhaust gas by bypassing the filtering unit. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust gas filter can prevent the exhaust gas filter from being broken by circuitously discharging exhaust gas even when particular matters collected in the exhaust gas filter increase and thus, pressure in the exhaust gas filter excessively increases Further, engine components such as an EGR, a turbocharger, and the like can be prevented from being broken or outputs thereof can be prevented from deteriorating.
